Like the book, the potential TV series follows anthropologist Martin, who, when she first arrives on New York City's Upper East Side, is utterly out of place with the glamorous, sharp-elbowed mommies around her. As a last resort to fit in, she begins "studying" the new tribe's mating and migration patterns, child-rearing practices and magical purifying rituals. It turns out these primates are more complex than she expected.

Martin is repped by Anonymous Content, Inkwell and Frankfurt Kurnit. Cramer and Lieberman are with Ziffren Brittenham.
